据World Oil网站12月23日布宜诺斯艾利斯报道,德国化工巨头巴斯夫麾下的石油分公司温特斯豪(Wintershall)和阿根廷当地国有能源公司内乌肯省石油天然气公司日前签署了一项协议,根据这项协议,温特斯豪将把其在阿瓜达联邦区块中持有的股份从50%大幅增加到90%。
今年3月份,温特斯豪在这个区块内开始了一个由其担任作业者的勘探运动,该公司至今已完钻两口垂直勘探井,后者目前正在进行测试中。
钻取勘探井的目的是为了提供这个区块有关原油和天然气藏特征的重要信息,其中包括有关瓦卡姆尔塔地层有希望页岩的重要信息。
与美国公司一起,阿根廷是温特斯豪未来非常规油气生产领域最重要增长地区之一。这个南美洲国家拥有世界第二大页岩气藏和第四大页岩油藏。

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina -- Wintershall and the local state-owned energy company Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén have signed an agreement under which Wintershall will increase its interest in Argentina's Aguada Federal Block from 50% to 90%.In March 2015, Wintershall began with an own-operated exploration campaign in the block; the company has already drilled two vertical exploration wells, which are currently being tested. The exploration wells aim to provide important information about the characteristics of the crude oil and natural gas reservoir, which includes promising shale rock of the Vaca Muerta formation.
Together with the U.S., Argentina is one of the most important growth regions in the field of unconventional oil and gas production. The South American country has the second-largest shale gas deposits and the fourth-largest shale oil deposits in the world.
